I cut it in half and then make several cuts into the flesh one direction then the other without cutting through the skin. Then push the skin so that it turns inside out and slice it off into little cubes. I never eat the skin.
I never realised how hard it is to explain how to do it until I went to type it just then.

I never heard of anyone eating the skin? Does it taste nice, it always looks like it would have a leathery texture.
I do the same as Flower. Although I don't cut in half, but rather on either side of the stone and then score the flesh and pop it out in hedgehog form

Mrs. Bleads used to eat it like a pear when i first met her, hence her dislike for them. I soon put a stop to that.
She had a rather sheltered culinary education. She once asked me what was a good way to cook smoked salmon. I susally just peel and slice them off the stone, though the "hedgehog" effect is nice presentation-wise. |

Yeah the skin if its nice and ripe with the juiciness of the fruit is really nice, its a nice texture and taste at the same time, try it

The skin makes my tongue itchy - don't ask!
I wash, peel, then slice the cheeks off, then the middle bits. Then I like to munch on the stone bit!

^A lot of people are allergic to the skin, it has something in it which poison ivy also has in it if you're allergic to that.

I go for the hedgehog method as well, but that still leaves the centre stone bit - let's just say it gets messy. I've never heard of anyone eating the skin, ever. Incidentally the best mangoes are the ones you get in certain months only at Asian grocery stores. They are called Alphonso mangoes I think, and come from Pakistan/Bangladesh. They are totally different to the supermarket varieties which I think are only stocked because they have a longer shelf life (the alphonso ones spoil really easily) |

I don't eat them, but one of my fish does.
I have yet to find a good way to cut them open to remove the seed thing. |

Hedgehog method then cut a bit more off the middle stone section. Then nibble round the stone over the sink.

If they are ripe, cut an X at the top and peel the skin off. Wash hands. Put in a big bowl and attack it with a knife and fork.

I will cut out the two sides and eat the flesh with spoon. For the middle part, I will my hands to tear off the skin and eat the flesh then.

Sliced and then add a few drops of lime juice so you get the tang first and then the sweetness hits you in the face
